In London, at least, there's probably two categories of programmers, those with families and modest-to-large houses in the suburbs or further out in the home counties, with long commutes, and those that are without families, living in flats (apartments) in London. The former want to stay remote, the latter, want to go into the office.

I'm sure it's an xkcd/meme Venn diagram, but in broad strokes, that's my impression of how the cards have fallen in the UK from speaking to friends and colleagues.

There's further overlap with age, too. As home ownership increases with age. So it's the 20-30s want to be back in the office, and the 30+ don't. Again, broad strokes, but that's what I understand from friends, family, even sites like this.
